“This is undeniable proof that politicians in Raleigh had no business eliminating our popular judicial public financing program,” said Melissa Price Kromm, director of North Carolina Voters for Clean Elections. “Under public financing, judicial candidates spent more time talking to voters. Instead of talking to voters, judicial candidates spent this campaign raising money, often from parties who will be appearing before the court, and now the public has to worry about which special interests helped put them on the bench.”
